Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent service in getting the hi-viz waistcoats to me. I ordered these from you late yesterday afternoon and they had arrived here before 8.00 a.m. this morning!

While noise induced hearing loss is permanent and irreversible, it is completly preventable. The new European Union Directive that took effect in Feb 2006, aims to prevent worker exposure to harmful noise. The music and entertainment sectors came under the directive in April 2008.
Remember selecting the right protection is more than choosing the earplug with the highest SNR rating. Consider the material, shape, and size.
SNR Single Noise Rating helps you compare the level of protection by various products.
The 4C’s of Hearing Protection
Communication
The right hearing protector reduces noise to a safe level, but avoids overprotection that compromises communication and worker safety on the job.
Caring
Many people don’t realize that hazardous noise has cumulative effects. Demonstrating the importance of hearing protection is an important step in a successful hearing conservation program, and an important factor in maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle
Comfort
Ears come in all shapes and sizes. The right hearing protector should feel comfortable in the ear or on the head — that means different products for different workers
Convenience
At work, give employees easy access to hearing protectors —and make sure that the choices are specifically matched to the work environment
